{"product_id":"personalisation-peter-beresford-9781447316145","title":"Personalisation","description":"Personalisation has become the policy buzz-word of the twenty-first century. Supporters claim it offers service users choice and services attuned to meet their specific needs, moving away from 'one size fits all' state services. In this short form book, part of the Critical and Radical Debates in Social Work series, Peter Beresford, one of Britain's foremost social work academics, challenges the personalisation agenda and its consequences on service users. Although critical of 'one size fits all' services that deny service user voice, Beresford argues that personalisation turns service users into 'consumers' of services within a care market and hence reinforces the commodification of care which sees vast profits made by a small number of providers at the expense of good quality services for those who use them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Beresford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447316142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447316145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.30d","brand":"Peter Beresford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072969732351,"sku":"9781447316145","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fa681da-68c4-48bd-8184-5c7a38cc221d.jpg?v=1685445022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/personalisation-peter-beresford-9781447316145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
